I have been trying to find the symbolic solutions to a set
of 6 differential equations using DSolve. The 6 equations
are listed below:
x1'[t] == x2[t]
x2'[t] == g*((R*Cos[x5[t]])-x1[t])/L
x3'[t] == x4[t]
x4'[t] == g*((R*Sin[x5[t]])-x3[t])/L
x5'[t] == x6[t]
x6'[t] == u+(m*g*R*((x3[t]*Cos[x5[t]])-(x1[t]*Sin[x5[t]]))/(J1*L))
When I try to get the solution, Mathematica simply restates
my problem. From some quick experiments, I believe that the
source of the problem is from taking Sin[x5[t]] and
Cos[x5[t]] instead of the independent variable t.
Is there some way to get around this? (In case it matters,
I am running a version 2.1.) Any help would be appreciated.
